日本集團支援加密 ETF 優先考慮比特幣和以太幣

繼美國監管機構批准比特幣和以太坊 ETF 之後，日本金融監管機構正在審查加密貨幣交易所交易基金 (ETF) 是否獲得批准。

A group of Japanese companies has suggested that local regulators in the country should follow the U.S. by focusing on the major crypto assets, Bitcoin and Ethereum, for ETF approval before considering other digital assets.

一群日本公司建議，該國當地監管機構應效仿美國，重點關注主要加密資產比特幣和以太坊，在考慮其他數位資產之前批准 ETF。

Japanese financial regulators are looking into crypto exchange-traded funds (ETFs) for possible approvals following the U.S. regulator’s approval of spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs.

繼美國監管機構批准現貨比特幣和以太坊 ETF 後，日本金融監管機構正在研究加密貨幣交易所交易基金 (ETF) 是否獲得批准。

According to the group, Bitcoin and Ethereum have historically stable track records and large market values. These attributes make both assets suitable for investor exposure in the medium and long-term duration.

該組織表示，比特幣和以太坊歷史上有著穩定的記錄和龐大的市場價值。這些屬性使得這兩種資產都適合投資者進行中長期投資。

In the statement issued on Friday, the group also asked for a review of tax systems, including the division of tax on income earned.

在周五發布的聲明中，該組織還要求對稅收制度進行審查，包括所得稅的劃分。

The Japanese group has major companies from various industries, including Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking Corp. and Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Bank. The group also has crypto exchanges such as bitFlyer Inc. and brokerage entities like Nomura Securities Co. and SBI Securities Co.

該日本集團擁有來自各行業的主要公司，包括三菱日聯信託銀行和三井住友信託銀行。該集團還擁有 bitFlyer Inc. 等加密貨幣交易所以及野村證券公司 (Nomura Securities Co.) 和 SBI 證券公司 (SBI Securities Co.) 等經紀實體。

In the statement, the group emphasized that its ETF perspective is a consensus rather than individual members’ proposals.

該組織在聲明中強調，其ETF觀點是共識而非個別成員的建議。

A Financial Service Agency (FSA) official said in September that the agency will review its approach to regulations to account for the crypto industry. Once executed, the ruling could pave the way for institutional investments in the crypto sector accompanied by tax-reducing revisions.

金融服務機構 (FSA) 的一位官員在 9 月表示，該機構將審查其監管方法，以解釋加密貨幣行業的情況。一旦執行，該裁決可能會為加密貨幣行業的機構投資鋪平道路，同時進行減稅修訂。

The official cautioned that the review had no foregone conclusions and could take some time to complete. FSA chief Hideki Ito also expressed his hesitance on crypto ETFs during an interview in August. Japan’s current tax policies consider crypto returns as miscellaneous income and levy digital asset gains at 55%.

該官員警告稱，審查尚無定論，可能需要一些時間才能完成。 FSA 主席伊藤秀樹 (Hideki Ito) 在 8 月的一次採訪中也表達了他對加密 ETF 的猶豫。日本現行的稅收政策將加密貨幣回報視為雜項收入，並對數位資產收益徵收 55% 的稅率。

While the Japanese regulators remain hesitant to expedite crypto regulations, other markets such as Hong Kong and China are steps ahead, having approved crypto-linked spot exchange-traded funds.

儘管日本監管機構仍對加快加密貨幣監管猶豫不決，但香港和中國等其他市場已領先，批准了與加密貨幣掛鉤的現貨交易所交易基金。

The U.S. and China’s approval of crypto ETFs demonstrates an evolving financial landscape across the world that integrates digital assets into traditional finance.

美國和中國對加密貨幣 ETF 的批准表明，全球金融格局正在不斷變化，數位資產已融入傳統金融。

The U.S. financial watchdog (SEC) gave Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs the thumbs up in January and July, respectively. The approvals came after rejecting crypto ETF applications for the last decade.

美國金融監管機構（SEC）分別在 1 月和 7 月對比特幣和以太坊 ETF 表示讚賞。這些批准是在過去十年拒絕加密 ETF 申請之後獲得的。

Hong Kong regulators approved both ETFs in April. The approvals brought a glimmer of hope to the crypto industry that has long suffered in the jaws of regulators worldwide.

香港監管機構於 4 月批准了這兩隻 ETF。這些批准為長期遭受全球監管機構困擾的加密產業帶來了一線希望。

While discussions about ETFs continue in Japan, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs have witnessed a cumulative flow of $21.53 billion since they got listed early this year, according to data from Sosovalue. On October 24th, the Bitcoin ETFs registered a daily net flow of $188.11 million. U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs have total net assets under management worth $66.09 billion.

Sosovalue 的數據顯示，雖然日本關於 ETF 的討論仍在繼續，但美國現貨比特幣 ETF 自今年年初上市以來，累計流量已達 215.3 億美元。 10 月 24 日，比特幣 ETF 日淨流量為 1.8811 億美元。美國現貨比特幣 ETF 管理的總淨資產價值 660.9 億美元。

On the other hand, U.S.-approved spot Ethereum ETFs saw inflows worth $2.30 million on October 24th and have more than $7 billion in assets under management at the time of this publication.

另一方面，美國批准的現貨以太坊 ETF 於 10 月 24 日流入價值 230 萬美元，截至本報告發佈時管理的資產超過 70 億美元。
